Eigenvalues and eigenfunctions: Find all the eigenvalues ?n? and eigenfunctions Xn?(x) for the boundary value problem X??+?X=0,X?(0)=0,X?(?)=0, following the steps outlined in class (see Ch.2, pp.27-30 of the course notes); you may assume that ??R (i.e. the eigenvalues ? are real-valued). These boundary conditions (fixing the value of the derivative X? ) are called Neumann BCs. In addition: - Use the result from Question 4 to show that ?0??Xm?(x)Xn?(x)dx=0 for m?=n (this is called an orthogonality condition). - What is the value of this integral if m=n ? (Consider all possible cases for integers m,n?0.)
